"A groundbreaking skin-contact wine from Yamagata, Japan, showcasing the avant-garde of Japanese winemaking. "Anfora Rosso" refers to the amphora aging, though the wine is made from white grapes fermented on skins. Aromas of dried apricot, green tea, and orange peel mingle with oxidative notes. Medium-bodied with textural complexity from extended skin contact and subtle tannin. The palate shows flavors of persimmon, quince, and umami-rich savory notes. A fascinating expression of Japanese terroir and winemaking philosophy that pairs exceptionally with Japanese cuisine."
